P-CAD 2004 is a Windows-based electronic design automation (EDA) suite for creating professional printed circuit boards. It combines schematic capture and PCB layout in a rules-driven workflow that supports forward and back annotation, cross‑probing between schematic and board, and comprehensive electrical and design‑rule checking. The toolset includes interactive routing, copper pours and planes, hierarchical design, and robust library management for symbols and footprints.
Geared toward production-ready results, P-CAD 2004 generates standard manufacturing outputs such as Gerber RS‑274X, NC Drill, pick‑and‑place files, assembly drawings, and test netlists (for example, IPC‑D‑356), helping teams move designs smoothly into fabrication and assembly. It also offers import/export for common netlist and data formats to ease collaboration with suppliers and other EDA environments.
Now considered legacy software, P-CAD 2004 remains valuable for maintaining existing designs and archives created with the P‑CAD product line, as well as for organizations that require continuity with established workflows on older Windows systems.
P-CAD 2004 is developed by Altium Limited. The most popular version of this product among our users is 18.0. The names of program executable files are Pcb.exe, Sch.exe.
